That means that if you are attracted to the same sex, you are in fact GAY. Bi-sexuals are attracted to the same sex, and there fore are considered gay. If you are attracted to both sexes, then you can label yourself as bi, but you are in fact, still gay.

sexually responsive to both sexes; ambisexual.

You can't be a little Bi/gay either. The first time you find yourself aroused by the same sex you are no longer straight. That can be argued, saying the if you don't actually act upon it, your just fantasizing. Wrong. I don't fantasize about men, because I'm not gay. I'm not curious, I'm straight.

I understand why people use bi, and gay as a distinction. It says either "I just like my own sex", or "I swing both ways." What really gets to me is that I see tons of posts with guys making remarks lik;

"I'm straight, but have/would love to suck a dick". Dood! Your not straight.

"I'm bi-curious, and would love to be pummelled in my ass by a guy". Know what? You are bi, and there fore ARE gay.

I don't like labels, but if you ARE going to label yourself why not be honest about it?

Hmmm, that's an interesting definition of homosexual. I think most people think of homosexuality as not just a tendency to be attracted to the same sex but rather being only attracted to the same sex. That definition seems to be defining homosexual as someone who is attracted to the same sex more than the opposite sex but not neccessarily someone who is not attracted to the opposite sex at all which a lot of people would consider bisexual not homosexual I think.

I think that some people like to use the bi-curious label because while it's a fantasy they aren't sure they'd really like it if they were to actual do it.

And I think part of it is also the negative stigma that a lot of people attach to being gay or bi (I think this is particularly true for gay/bi men).

Although I too can't understand why you wouldn't consider yourself at least bi-curious if you have fantasies about sexual experiences about the same sex.

Perhaps it's that whole thing where some people consider "true" bisexuals those who are interested in romantic relationships with the same sex as opposed to just being interested in doing purely sexual things with the same sex.

Main Entry: bi·sex·u·al
Function: adjective
of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward both sexes.

The same dictionary that you are using to get all bothered doesn't have a problem with bisexuality as a thing that is different from homosexuality. It doesn't say "see homosexual" or anything like that.
